Answer:

Correct answer:

D. "Two thirds they made him god and one third man"

Explain

A theocracy is rule by God or the gods. In telling the origins of Gligamesh, it is said that he was created by and sent by the gods to rule. Indeed, the gods made him two-thirds god to carry out divine rule among men.

The Epic of Gilgamesh comes from ancient Mesopotamia, dating back to around 2100 BC. It is one of the oldest surviving examples of ancient literature, a compilation of poems telling the story of Gilgamesh, king of the Mesopotamian city-state Uruk
